I joined the beginner Krav Maga class at Empire about 2.5 months ago and I have to say... I have never been more excited to exercise!! Every day that I have Krav, I am so excited to get there and start my work out. Every day that I don't have Krav, I am wishing I did! I have learned so much from Alan and the Empire Team already. I am ecstatic that I am reaching my goals of becoming stronger and losing weight (8lbs down so far). Krav at Empire inspires me to be healthier in my overall life too. I can't wait for my next workout!

I love this place. Staff is friendly and engaging. They go out of their way to help you learn how to do things correctly and safely. I've never had so much fun exercising. Two weeks in and my hip is already feeling stronger. So glad I joined. No pressure, positive atmosphere.

Threw the first punch of my life two weeks ago, and I've never felt better! I have been so intimidated and scared to join a gym, but I am SO happy I finally did and I am SO happy I chose ESDF. I look forward to going to my HIIT class every day because the workout is great, the staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and encouraging, and the overall environment is super positive. Looking forward to working more with the ESDF team!

My time and training with Empire is invaluable to me. As a student in the Muay Thai program, I have been invested in by staff and fellow students alike- my success feels like a priority to everyone around me. The facilities and instruction are second to none and thoughtfully handled. Alan and Cheryl manage a great business and take the measures to maintain a great environment for all of us- it feels like a family. I feel more confident and capable in my body than I ever have from the strength I've built and progress I've made- it really is the best part of my day. I can see my involvement here for many years to come.

Do you want to learn how to

defend yourself in all situations?

You feel vulnerable and want to defend yourself and your family.

You want an intense workout that builds muscle and increases dexterity.

You want the self-esteem boost that comes with knowing you can fight.

The dangers of the world are endless

Luckily there is a comprehensive solution…

Learning to defend yourself is about more than simply wielding a weapon. The truth is that amateurs who have weapons end up getting hurt with them more often than predators do – and that’s a real problem. There’s no point in arming yourself if you’re not also in the right condition to be able to act if you or someone you love is threatened.

Krav Maga is popular because it takes self-defense and turns it into an art form.

you will grow with every class!

Krav Maga teaches you how to defend yourself by building on your body’s natural reactions to being attacked and giving you the tools – and the strength – to disarm and defeat your opponents. As you train, you’ll build stamina and hone your reflexes until you are a fighting machine.

Defend Yourself in Any Situation

Nobody wants to be the victim of a crime, and yet it happens to people every day. The best way to avoid being harmed is to know how to defend yourself.

Krav Maga training emphasizes teaching students how to react in real-life situations. It’s not theoretical – it’s practical and effective.

You won’t have to worry about figuring out how to translate your Krav Maga training outside of the dojo, because our instructors will help you do it.

Krav Maga is a Killer Workout

It can be hard to get a great workout without someone to push you. If you want to be a total badass, the treadmill isn’t going to get you there.

Krav Maga is intense...but FUN! Repetitive kicking and punching burn a ton of calories, and testing to move up a level requires mental and physical toughness. You’ll use every muscle.

Whether you want to lose weight or just get in the best physical shape of your life, Krav Maga can help you do it.

Practical Self-Defense at its Best

One of the hardest things about learning self-defense is overcoming your natural instincts to learn new moves.

Krav Maga works with those instincts – such as bringing your hands up to protect your face – and turns them into powerful moves that allow you to defend yourself and drive attackers away.

You’ll learn to use the tools you have and combine them with traditional martial arts and other forms of fighting.

Relieve Stress and Anxiety

We all have to deal with stress and anxiety in our lives – from work, family, and everything else. You need to have a healthy outlet for it to stay healthy.

Krav Maga banishes stress by burning it off. When you’re working out, you need to give over your body and mind to the process. There’s no room for worrying.

By the time you’re done working out, you’ll be flooded with endorphins and feeling a serious sense of accomplishment – and your stress will be under control.

I love this place. Staff is friendly and engaging. They go out of their way to help you learn how to do things correctly and safely. I've never had so much fun exercising. Two weeks in and my hip is already feeling stronger. So glad I joined. No pressure, positive atmosphere.
